Bad Hair Day / Good Hair Day — You Call It
My friend Alan Hanson writes a wonderful blog about Elvis Presley. He and I have often come up with similar ideas, but usually they are years apart after time has dulled our memory of the other’s work. This week we both independently decided to do a blog on Elvis’ hair. Continue reading

An Udderly Stupid Elvis Blog
Two weeks ago, I posted an article that chronicled an element of Elvis’ stature and importance – his painting in the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution. Hopefully, that respectful column will be enough to balance out this week’s post, which admittedly is stupid and irrelevant. Continue reading
